melkore Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Browsers are getting more and more strict in checking for insecure connections. Firefox just stopped me from logging in because I was going to submit my credentials over an insecure connection. Even after manually changing to https when logging in, the redirect sent me back to http. Please look in to redirecting http traffic to https on your sites. It shouldn't take much to correct and would bring peace of mind to many of your users. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaphoricDragn Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 I would adore this as well. I've been manually typing in the https:// for awhile now for each page navigation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriminalControl Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I too hate that the forums default to HTTP and try to force HTTP over a manually entered HTTPS. I have HTTPS Everywhere downloaded in firefox (from EFF) and have selected the box "Block all unencrypted requests". This lets me view, login, and post using HTTPS. Edit: I did send a contact us page message through the forums asking their view point on this and have not received a response back.

Adran Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 I normally don't pay attention to if I'm on http or https, but I be noticed that now my phone is https. No idea if this is new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomezilla Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 It started sometime yesterday, US afternoon time if I had to guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melkore Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Yep looks like they flipped it over. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriminalControl Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Just a reminder, if you ever logged in with not forced HTTPS (so any time before yesterday), your username and password were sent as PLAIN TEXT over the internet. I would recommend changing your password on this site (and any site of yours that shares that password). Edit: Is anyone else having trouble after the HTTPS change with reacting to post? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
